Installing the plugin…
The package could not be installed.No valid plugins were found.Plugin install failed.

The zip you have for the developer version has multiple plugins in it.Please unzip the file and upload the plugin which you want to use on the site. i.e. Either Canada or US version.

Can I edit the results displayed by WPLocalPlus? Sometimes there are results that don’t match to the expected ones. Can I change the results manually?

WPLocalPlus automatically pulls the listings using Google APIs which in-turn gets displayed on the page. So there is no way to modify/delete these listings.

What is the difference in the developers license and the international license?

With the developer license, the user can install or use the plugin on multiple sites. With an international license, the user can just install and use the plugin only on a single site.

Please send a refund request for the international license once you purchase the developer license to support[at]wplocalplus[dot]com with the details of both the purchases.
